TH9 - Defense maxed - what to do now?

Hey fellow clashers,

I'm currently sitting in front of a decision, either farming heroes or farming walls.
My Archer Queen is lvl21 (going to lvl22 right now).
My Barbarian King is lvl14 (never really cared about him).
Walls: 140pcs lvl8 and 110pcs lvl7.
Gold Grab is around 410m and HH is at 2.1m.
Defense is maxed.

Just wanted to know what I should do next, farming heroes to max or farming walls to lvl9?

Also, how far would you recommend me to max th9?
Walls were never important for me as I'm a lot in the champion legaue (also because of the DE) and yea, defense doesnt matter there.
Heroes were though, thats why I'm in that dilemma - I don't know what to do.

Any tips? Appreciate every help :)

If your not obsessed with having maxed troops, stay at hall 9 and farm for both walls and heroes.

Staying away from hall 10 is the best choice amid all these bad loot rumors.

Well if your a pusher I would get maxed heroes

why not both

Get heroes, walls, spells, and troops as high as you can stand before going to th10 imo, I have max th9 defenses as well and plan on completely maxing th9 before making the leap to th10 (or until I can't stand it anymore)

My troops + spells are all maxed (valks @ lvl3, going to lvl4).
Why not both? Because I cant go for both, either DE or Gold/Elixir (at least I cant).
Oh and the question was more like walls or heroes, not 'Am I ready for th10', because I know I am not :)

Personally, based on looking at the info you provided, I would get all your walls to lvl 8 (from what it looks like, you still have some lvl 7 walls), and then I would farm heroes. But that's just my opinion. Do whatever you feel like you should do.

Btw, if you did choose to upgrade heroes, I would try to get your BK up to at least lvl 20 before upgrading your AQ. From my experience, BK is more important than people give him credit ;).

Edit: Looking at your signature, seems we are the same lvl and TH, yet you have double to GG I do. Just find that pretty cool :D.

Sure you are. Why wouldn't you go to TH10 and get max troops?

Also, why can't you go for both? I'm currently doing walls and heroes at TH10 at masters 2.

Loot is at least twice as bad as TH10 than TH9 in my experience (I have a camp in both). So max it all before considering going to TH10. For me, I'd do heroes first. Maybe go up to crystal where the DE is easier to get and farm DE for a while to raise heroes. You'll get some gold along the way to do walls as well..

Everyone tells me that loot is so bad at th10 and that I should never leave th9 ect.
Pretty confusing because my clanmates dont have loot problems (mostly th10s), though everyone here has them.
I won't farm in Gold1 - Crystal 1 as a th10 so I dont think I'll have one but I'd still like to semi max it as I rushed to th9 (very rushed) and dont want to make that mistake again.

I'm currently trying farming in crystal 3 after this guide (http://forum.supercell.net/showthrea...evel-40-Heroes), hope it works - if not I'll just climb up to m2-champ again, DE has always been good for me there (dont have enough time to stay there though so I'm searching for a lower farming league).

I think I'll do heroes as they're more important to me. All spare Gold/Elixir will be pumped in walls.

You can easily do both if you Loonion. What is the reason you think you can't? I farm Loonion quite a bit and going after DE, I almost always make extra gold and elix, easily enough to build walls. Can you commit to both of them 100% at the same time, probably not, but there's no reason you can't dump excess into walls.

walls

honestly walls > walls, so do walls. Get them to lvl 11 m8.

I faced the same issue 6 weeks ago. I had two th9 accounts, my more active one with skulls, my less active one half skulls.

I decided to take my less active account to th10 because I knew I was not going to have time to grind out heroes and walls without builders sitting for months and months.

So, I jumped up while farming legos on my more active account in m2 & m3.

But then I I hit th10 and found that the loot crisis was overblown. I had no problems farming as a th10.

So, I decided to upgrade my more active account as well.

Look, loot might be worse at th10 than it was 6 months ago or a year ago. But I wasn't a th10 back then. Instead, I have been grinding away in the current era of loot.

And if you farm at C1 & higher, there is no loot penalty. As you know, it is almost all th9 and th10. So the only people who have problems with loot at th10 are those who only farm th8 collectors.

What would you rather have, two max infernos or some walls? Max minions and wiz or some walls?

I would upgrade. Once defenses are upgraded you should always jump town halls. There are so many levels of heroes that you would spend another 9 weeks on just your archer queen alone. People complaining of loot penalties when they jump up town halls are usually people who were not attacking strong bases to start with. You can still get loot, the bases just get harder to hit.

People kept saying the loot penalty, the loot penalty when I was upgrading to TH9 like chicken little and I don't even notice a difference honestly. Yeah I can't take on weak ♥♥♥ th7 bases and get mad loot, but with balloonions I usually take on strong TH9 bases anyways... so I never noticed.

farm for maxed troops and heroes and maven up to th10

Definitely get all those walls to at least level 8 preferably higher trust me you won't regret it.

I would go to TH10. There is no need to stick around TH9 with sleeping builders when heroes are easier to upgrade at TH10.

Both gold and heroes at the same time, you defiantly need to get those walls up.

Go to th10 or just upgrade both your heroes to lvl 30 first and then go to th10.

I'm a fellow TH9 my lego walls are done. Heroes are both at Level 15 and all of my traps and defenses are nearly maxed. IMO the two hardest things to achieve in this CoC are Max Walls and Max Heroes. Do you really feel like farming walls at $3mil each and then $4mil each both at TH10? I for one don't. I've been debating whether to move up to TH10 and decided will not until my TH9 is max. Why? Here it goes.

Don't know how others feel about it but I firmly believe that TH9 is the best place to be at in CoC. There's so much more versatility here then anywhere else in the game. I farm in the Golds and smash TH8's to pieces all day long for gold and elixir. If I need DE I move up to the crystals and farm away. Trophy pushing, use Loonion to get to Champs.

Too many times I've seen Max Th10 defenses with purple walls or Level 15 Heroes, not the way i want to start out my TH10 adventure. If your a TH10 and have low level walls and heroes IMO you're at a HUUUUGE disadvantage. Why do that to yourself? Whatever decision you make you'll live with it and adjust accordingly. IMO stay at TH9 and Max it out, continue to enjoy CoC farming at it's best. IDK from experience but I'm almost positive it doesn't get any easier.

Shout out to VinnyXo and CloudWhiskey these guys gave me the motivation to Max out my TH9. Cheers!!

Why not get the king to 15, unlock the new level of ability:p

Otherwise I have no opinion, just do whatever you feel like.

Lv8 walls? :O Damn bro farm till that Level 9 walls and you'll have less problems while finding loot at TH10 :rolleyes:

Sincec you can spend your elixir and gold on walls!

I thought I would hate the level 9 lego walls but it actually was fun to farm them. It was nice to never have gold or elixer go above 1M and just keep adding walls. There was no loot for anyone to get from me because I never had to store much. The lava walls at 3M are not as much fun. My heroes are at lvl 15 and 16. I plan to get them to 20 and then see where I'm at with walls. I may try to move up to crystal and focus more on heroes and less on walls or perhaps just go to TH10. I haven't decided yet, but plan to make a decision in about one more month.

I'd max walls. I mean your going to do then eventually anyway

I'm at a similar spot (although a bit further along) and upgrading my TH seems like a huge decision... I think that it's because it's been soooo long since we've been in a decent enough position to do so.

I'd recommend getting heroes and walls (particularly your walls) up a bit.

But if it gets too boring then GO FOR IT! :)

Yeah, you go ahead and do that, and in the meantime, those of us at TH10 will keep smashing your base, while hiding our loot behind infernos. The rumors are greatly exaggerated. I'm just a few upgrades away from maxing my TH10, with the exception of walls and heroes, which I will soon be working on full time.

Agree... Loot is more difficult at TH10 of course, as it is for every TH upgrade, but I'm still able to keep my 5 builders active and upgrade some walls at the same time.

What I did personnally was rush all my elixir upgrades when I reached TH10. I'm nearly finished with those, meaning all my elixir will now go into my walls (part from a few lab upgrades, but that's not a big cost compared to the time it takes), I only need to farm gold and DE now for my upgrades and heroes.

max your heroes and walls. dont worry about th10. the longer you stay at th9, the better your attacking becomes. just imagine, youre already two starring villages, what's gonna happen when you unlock freeze? an additional 20 spaces in camps, additional five in cc, an additional spell... youll be a beast. if you just wait.

once you get to th10, you wont have a chance to work on walls no more. work on walls and the DE will come naturally.

Thanks for all your answers, really appreciate it.

First of all to the question why I can't farm both : I can but it's not effective. I might do 1 or 2 skull walls per day when farming for DE.

Second of all : I don't really want to go to th10 as I still have lvl7 walls and non lvl20 heroes (just the king).

And last but not least to the walls : Do they only help in cw? Because as said, I'm more in higher leagues where walls don't matter (either snipe or 3 star). So there's not much motivation to do them, though higher lvl walls are looking good. Heroes are another chapter, they do help in cw and in normal raiding.

I'll say at least get all the walls to level 8.

i maxxed out th9. well almost. i had heros in their teens and all lvl9 walls. i wasnt prepared to stay at th9 just to farm heros and lvl10 walls. i would say get your walls up as high as you can be bothered. then go to th10. at th10 i am now just about to do my last elixir upgrade. things have changed since went to th9 especially the walls upgrades through elixir. if i was at th9 now i would have probably done lv 10 walls. but at least i will be able to do that now at th10.

as long as you are not a premie then i dont think it makes that much difference. they release updates far slower than you can upgrade your base. so eventually you will catch up and maxx out th10 no matter when you decide to go for th10.

Get your lv9 walls. I'm a mid TH9. And I can tell you, I really enjoyed dumping elixir and gold into walls and being low on ressources as TH8, I never got attacked. I'd enjoy it as long as you can as TH9, dump de into heroes and gold/elixir into walls.

Yes, they do help a lot in CW. Once you are a TH10, you will mostly get attacked in gowipe or gowiwi (even if some keep using drags4 or baloonion, like myself, but we are a minority). For such attacks, your wall will make a lot of a difference :

1/ They will force your attacker to take a jump spell with him in order to get his troops in the center of your base. If you have weak walls, he might maybe not take this jump spell, meaning one more rage.

2/ Nice, he gets into your center, and maybe even took you TH down, but that's still a 2 stars only. His troops still need to come out into each compartment if he wants to 3 star you, and breaking walls can be a pity for golems. While his golems are busy on some walls for a few more seconds, your defs will just take some life out of them, and maybe kill most of his wizard or witches as they are being distracted instead of hiding behing the golems... your walls will make all the difference between a 2-star and a 3-star.

At the same time, infernos will make even more of a difference, so don't keep your builders inactive at TH9 if your defs are maxed, move to TH10.

Reading all those posts, I have seen a lot of people who stayed at TH9 doing their walls recommending you to do so, but don't think I've seen only one guy who decided to move to TH10 with maxed defs telling you he regretted this choice.

I'll move to TH10 when my King and Queen are lv 20, at least lv9 walls, maxed defenses and maxed lab. No hurry. Just saying.

I do understand that TH10 has a lot of goodies like more collectors, infernos etc but its worthwhile to get as much at TH9 as possible before making the move.

It is also right that most TH10 dont regret the move. the move is not that bad if you move at a decent lvl.. unless u just do TH upgrades and ignore all the defenses no one will regret it.... you can get ur heroes to lvl30 as a TH9 and walls to lvl 10... that doesnt leave a lot for u to do when u move to Th10.. plus as someone already stated as a TH9 u can pick on TH8s and u have enough troops to get Th10s too... and then there is a loot penalty as a TH10.. so all these things make TH9 the best place to be at

All of us who max our THs go through this debate, so I get the logic. However, there are two huge fallacies being bandied about on the forums from those that are TH9s:
1) DE is not better @ TH9. Why? Because TH8s don't have much DE. As soon as you're attacking TH9+, better to have 240 troops, higher levels, etc.
2) Walls make a difference, but probably only up to ~100 legos. There's a big difference between seeing a TH10 with purple walls and one with legos protecting loot (not funneling, these outside walls hardly matter). I'd stay until you've got some serious lego wall deterrent going on, but beyond that point all of us TH10s are going to bloonion the ♥♥♥♥ out of your base, and we're not deterred by your walls or the minor 10% loot penalty.

I'm not saying this for my own self interest. I love seeing TH9s who are deluded enough to have lava walls and 100k+ DE. We've all been there, but stop beating yourself up. You don't have purple walls. You're taking the right approach. But there are limits to that approach, and other dimensions to this game... Saving is a virture, hoarding just means you miss out on other things. Don't be a hoarder.

As the earlier poster said... nobody who was in your shoes and went to TH10 is complaining. Isn't that the only opinion that counts?

---

Why would they remain inactive ? I'm working on my lava walls at the same time as I'm working on my upgrades. Every time I have a builder coming back I simply calculate how much I can drop into walls before launching my next upgrade. I never had any builder remaining inactive for walls, and don't understand why people are doing this while you can easily do both at the same time

I'm at level 16 heroes and about 40 lava walls done. Rest maxed. I'm thinking of th10 but I disagree with your comment that no one who went to th10 is complaining. In fact, the thousands of pages of th10s complaining about loot is why I haven't moved up yet. i understand I can max th10 (other than walls) for less than the cost of just getting my lavas done, but that only matters if I can just as easily get loot at th10. I keep hearing it is terrible.

I suspect two groups complain most about loot at th10.

1, those with rushed th10 bases. I feel really sorry for these folks, having a th10 with th7 troops.

2, those long time players who played a lot before the loot system changed.

I have zero problems keeping 5 builders busy at th10 6 weeks in, even on my less active account. Loot seems so much easier to get with max camps. I still am using th9 barch in C2, hitting bases just like I did at th9.

I just returned to farming heroes again after my exilir building upgrades. I may go a little, but life is good. Every once in a while loot seems rare, so I drop 100 or push a little and find a better zone.

I guess I could have stayed at th9 longer for walls and heroes. But my less active account was never going to be maxed for months. And once I hit th10, I saw how overblown the th10 loot crisis is.

Heres my question on that stupid rumor that TH10 LOOT is BAD.

Say you pretty much maxed yout TH10. What happens to the gold other than using it to raid?? Cant do nothing else with gold after maxing your TH10 and finding a raid.

Yea, nexting and that ♥♥ is an issue cause of "bad loot" however, their is always a good raid to find.

But why find a base with good loot if youre maxed?

Other than Elixir obviously.

Idk I just think some people are morons and dont know what else to complain about.

You're right that many people complain, but look at their bases.
Many of them don't even have skulls, most don't have legos and none of them have lava.
If 10 million people tell you loot is bad at TH10, but you have a more maxed base than 9.9 million of them, why would you listen to them?

For the rare person who's at your level and still complains, I'd ask if it was fun barching the same old TH8s for six months. If it was, then good for them. To be fair, it's gotten easier to stay at TH9 now that we have elixir wall upgrades, but it's also gotten easier to get loot at TH10 with increased loot bonuses.

Whatever you do, don't listen to chumps... just make sure you're enjoying the game.

skyyyy, its coopsrhymbusta i was in the loonatix war clan with you. I debated the same thing when i was th9. I would def get those walls to lv8 and both heroes to lv20. IMO, getting the th10 upgrades done is a better use of your time then grinding for walls and wasting all that builder time. Its better off maxing your th10 defences then just do walls after your maxed. I haven't regretted going to th10 and people who complain loot is bad have no idea. Im bringing in 350-550k (including loot bonus) gold per raid in champs with loonian! ENJOY!

He'd asked walls or heroes not TH10 or not

Finish your skulls and move up.
th10 loot rumors are just that, from ppl who are mad cuz bad.

p.s I agree with fatdome above.

Good advice. I did have fun with the legos. With the ability to use elixer too, it was pretty easy and fun. No one tried to get my loot ever, since I never had more than 1 million of either. I guess no one tries now while I'm on lavas since I'm farming low range trophies, but for some reason it is way less fun at 3 million than 1 million (3 times less fun maybe, lol). Maybe I just am bored after doing legos but for whatever reason, I'm not liking lavas much. I doubt I will go on much longer.

I would just upgrade if I were you. I went to 9 with almost maxed defense (everything maxed except level 9 ATs) and almost all pink walls, and I haven't had any issues keeping builders busy, despite claims that I would be smashed with my crappy walls and I would regret upgrading and blah blah blah. I Just finished getting all my new defenses and ATs to maxed TH8 levels (xbows are at level 2) and will be upgrading to 10 as soon as all my defenses are maxed, regardless of where my walls and heros are.

That being said I am not ignoring my walls, I rushed all my elixir upgrades so that as soon as they are done I can dump all my elixir in to my walls. All I have left is to max my DE storage, 1 barrack, and my Dark barracks (currently at levels 5 and 3). I'm going to shoot for a core of Legos (currently skulls) and the rest skulls (currently a mix of pink/purple), but if I don't get Them when my defenses are done o well, still going to go to 10.

Jump to th10 is much different because those nice abandoned th8's are no longer available to farm from. That's the main concern, but I do think I will move up soon.

Kind of like jumping to TH9 and giving up those nice abandoned TH7s? I think you're going to upgrade to 10 and wonder why you waited so long.

Lv20 King and whatever level you want your Queen and try to get full skulls at least

14 days till TH 10 BBAABBYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(for you)

I think you are right, I will move to 10 before finishing my lava walls. However, it isn't like the jump to TH9. TH9 is still fine because there are so many abandoned TH8s. There aren't many abandoned TH9s to attack when you are TH10.
